It does effect what CW skimmer sees. At least it does here. I have to set .1 to

I gotta say, the K3 has made a contester out of me. I've been a ham since 
'78 and avoided contests like the plague for over 3 decades - too much 
"mush"...inseparable stations, endless noise, etc - who needs the fatigue?!

But November's CQWW and this weekend's ARRL DX contests have been pure fun 
for me. I started out sticking my toe in the water during 1 or 2 smaller 
contests, then bought the K3 just under a year ago. Man, what a difference. 
I now see the attraction - and the addiction.

This was also the first time I've ever operated QRO (AL-811). A fly in the 
ointment had me back at 100 watts for a while and, while I missed the power 
level, I was back to QSK. I wish there was an amp that offered 500 watts 
*and* QSK - I hear there may be one coming soon...!

I'm in the market.

OK, this has been bashed about pretty good.  So my question is: if someone 
puts a spectrum analyzer on the CW output of a K3, are key clicks 
detectable?  On make, on break?  Close in, far out, in between?  If they 
exist, what is the level of the click relative to the signal?  If they 
exist, are the clicks really a problem?  I've not heard any K3 with 
detectable clicks (but I haven't been trying to find them either).

[Elecraft] K3 Overdrive using RTTY

2009-01-02 Thread Doug Alspaugh
Lyle,

With the current (276/198) I am not able to adjust the sound card input for a 
clean signal no matter how low I set the drive. I get the clicking sound in the 
monitor output and if I listen on a second rig I can hear clicking by tuning 
just off freq. I also tried 273/198 and got the same results. However I can get 
a clean output using 267/196. Takes very careful adjustment. I get one solid 
bar  and one flickering bar on the ALC meter. One more click of input from the 
sound card and the clicking starts. With the proper adjustment the output sonds 
clean on my second radio.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Beta firmware rev. 2.63: Switch-press tones

2008-11-05 Thread Doug Alspaugh
After upgrading I set to AM mode on 20 mtrs. At first the carrier went only 
to 20 watts. When I modulated I got about 75 watts voice peaks. The more I 
modulated the higher the carrier got till it went up to 35 watts and the 
modulated carrier peaked at 100 watts. Turning the rig off resets the power 
out to 20 watts and modulating it a few times returns to full power. Strange 
behavior for sure.

Is there now going to be a new AM carrier adjustment?

With TXG VCE "lost" on AM, my carrier output is well below
what it should be (and was with TXG VCE = 1.0 or 1.5 depending
on the which K3 I was using).  With previous firmware the same
value of TXG VCE that equalized the SSB PEP output with CW
resulted in 22 to 28 watts of AM carrier when the power level
was set for 100 watts.  With TXG VCE disabled in FW 2.64, I now
get only 14 to 15 Watts of carrier.

K3 beta-test firmware revision 2.63 (with DSP rev 1.95) is now
available. Please send any problem reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
For instructions on how to load beta firmware, please see:

   http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm

Highlights:

* Audio tones on switch press (if CONFIG:SW TONE is set to ON)

* 1 kHz AM COARSE VFO TUNING RANGE ADDED

* Many new remote-control commands for use by PC software applications

Full details appear below.

73,
Wayne
N6KR

* * *

MCU 2.63 / DSP 1.95, 11-04-2008

* SWITCH TONES NOW AVAILABLE: If CONFIG:SW TONE is set to ON,
tapping or holding switches produces audio tones
corresponding to the switch
state. This
supplements the normal tactile feedback of the switches.

* NORM SWITCH ALLOWED DURING TX: The “NORM” switch function
(receive passband normalization, e.g. 400 Hz in CW mode) can
now be accessed
during
transmit. It takes effect after the K3 returns to receive
mode. This is
especially useful for CW contest operation.

* COMPRESSION RANGE: Some operators asked for a higher “CMP” (speech
compression) setting to add “punch” under certain conditions. It can
now be
set from 0-40. We still recommend lower settings (0-20) for normal
operation.

* AM COARSE VFO TUNING RATES: Now 1, 5, 9, and 10 kHz.

* AM TRANSMIT: CONFIG:TXG VCE no longer affects AM transmit.

* SPLIT COMBINATIONS AVAILABLE: Cross-mode SPLIT operation is
possible with any combination of CW and SSB for VFO A and B.
Same-mode SPLIT is possible in all modes except PSK-D.

* CROSS-MODE SPLIT INDICATION: If you turn on SPLIT with VFO
A and B in different legal modes (e.g. CW and SSB), the K3
will remind you of VFO B’s mode by flashing it (as well as
the VFO B TX arrow). This
reminder
can be cancelled by tapping any switch, key, or PTT. The
reason for the “reminder” is that operators usually enter
cross-mode split by
accident. If so,
cancel the reminder flash, then use BSET to change VFO B’s
mode, or tap
A>B to copy mode A to mode B.

For software developers:

* “FW$” ADDED (direct sub/VFO B filter bandwidth).

* “SM$” ADDED (direct sub-receiver S-meter read).

* "DV" (DIVERSITY) COMMAND:  DV0 (off), DV1 (on). Also turns sub
off/on. To turn
on the sub but not diversity, use an “SWT” command (verify SUB status
with “DS”).

* COMMANDS AVAILBLE DURING BSET: "IF", "FA", "FB", "MD”,
“MD$", and "DT" (GET only). “FW” and “FW$” work in BSET
except during diversity (TBD).

Upgrade HRD to the latest and see if it is OK then? I am working fine with 
an early version too.

I am using K3 with firmware DSP 1.92 and MCU 2.46 (latest firmware).  I am
also using LP-Bridge v0.9.82.  Everything is working fine here.

Hi Larry,

Here's 1989 -
http://mannindustries.net/hrd/public/betas/041/HRDv041b1989_Full.exe

This implements everything available in Wayne's CAT support, as the radio
stays in K31 all the time I hope your bridge is no longer broken - let's
see.

New kit in about 30 minutes, I'll be in K31 mode all the time (as
pre-1988) with the exception of the FW command where I'll send
K30,FW;K31;.

Hi Mike,

I don't see much, if any activity from HRD when I monitor the Virtual port. To 
bad some nice new features added. I am sure Simon will fix it.

Using HRD beta 1988 I have no comms with LP-Bridge. Reverting back to 1959 
fixes the problem. Tried reinstalling with no luck. Anyone else try it? 

1988 works fine with K3 if I connect direct, without LP-Bridge


The virtual port on LP-Bridge shows very little action from HRD.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 "operating scripts" to help first-time users

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 "operating scripts" to help first-time users



Hi all,

While working on the next revision of the owner's manual, I've been 
thinking that it gives a decidedly top-down (deductive) look at the 
K3's controls and features. But for many people, a bottom-up 
(inductive) approach leads to quicker results.


Imagine if, as a new user of the K3, you could have an "expert" looking 
over your shoulder. He could step you through a series of actions to 
set the radio up for a particular operating scenario, pointing out the 
rig's powerful features along the way.


This is the idea behind "operating scripts." I'm imagining one or 
two-page .html documents that can be either viewed on-line or printed. 
Each would have a very specific title, something like:


   K3 Operating Script: CW DXing on 40 m

And an introduction, e.g.:

   This script will step you through a typical weak-signal DXing session
   with the K3, in this case on 40 m. This band offers several unique
   challenges (QRN, QRM) and opportunities (like gray-line long-path to
   Asia or Africa). It's a great vehicle for demonstrating the K3's
   noise blanking and filtering, as well as diversity receive with the
   sub receiver (etc.)

It might be formatted as a table with two columns. The first would 
provide unambiguous instructions, and the second could provide expected 
observations, variations on commands, or helpful tips. Here's an 
example:


- Action - - Notes 
--


Switch to 40 m by tapping BAND UP/DN   Also try: FREQ ENT, '7000', 
'<-' on keypad


Tap MODE UP/DN to get to CW mode

Hold NORM (hold function of SHIFT/LO   Sets overall passband to 400 
Hz; "wings" appear
knob)  on the DSP graphic to show 
passband is normalized


Etc.

Here's where your creativity comes in! Lead the new user through a 
typical session, dealing with The Dragon, searching for DX, narrowing 
down the passband using WIDTH, NORM ALT1/2, or presets I/II, notching 
out big broadcast station carriers you get the idea.


I haven't thought it through much beyond that. But it's safe to say 
that we'd accept accurate (tested) scripts from K3 owners and create a 
page for them on our web site.


If you'd like to try your hand at this, feel free to send an example 
script to me, and also copy it to Greg (AB7R), ab7r AT cablespeed DOT 
com.


Some scripts I'd like to see:

  - 6 meter FM and repeaters
  - Making the most of stereo speakers/phones (AFX, etc.)
  - Pileup management in SPLIT mode
  - Exploring the filter passband controls
  - Filter setup: CONFIG menu vs. K3 Utility
  - RTTY QSOs without a computer
  - Setting up and using PC soundcard I/O

73,
Wayne, N6KR
